Question

I’ve been experiencing sudden twitches lately, especially when walking or sleeping. Could it be due to a calcium deficiency? I run 10 kilometers every day on a treadmill and don’t take any calcium supplements, just drinking a packet of milk daily. Is my condition severe?

Answer

When you walk or sleep, you experience sudden twitches. This could be due to a mild calcium deficiency, or it might be related to regional muscle tension and spasms. It’s advisable to get a further check-up at the hospital. For now, it’s best to supplement with calcium and follow the doctor’s instructions regarding medication. Pay attention to your diet and consider taking calcium supplements if necessary. It’s recommended that you have a check-up based on your specific situation.
